SyncToy is a good utility (and free). But every-so-often i’ve found it to hang. It will be on one particular sync and no matter how many times I’ve tried, it will not budge.

After much playing the solution is to remove the various oddly named .bin files in the SyncToyData folder in My Documents.

Dunno why and can’t find any reference on the ‘net to anybody else having this issue.

After creating a seperate Blog just for web development, I’ve now created a seperate wedding Blog. Hurrah. Therefore most of the posts from here that related to one of these has been “transplanted” to its new, better home.

I’ve also removed various Blog add-ons that were doing nothing much other than slow the site down. And then added a new one .

If you glance over at the right you’ll see a playlist which streams music of my own choosing (code supplied by Radio.blog). At the moment it’s looking a bit sparse, but it will eventually show a representation of the kind of stuff that I like to listen to. God help you all.

A while ago I gave up on the Adobe Acrobat Reader due to it’s snail-like speed. I swapped to Foxit Reader, but, although quick, I was disappointed with the lack of various features, including browser integration.

Now, Adobe has released version 8 and… my god… it’s a lot better. Fast speed, good looks and all the features I need.

So I’ve switched back. And if you don’t have it, it’s very much recommended.

One thing to look out for is a startup item that Adobe creates named “Adobe Reader Synchronizer”. For the majority of people it’s probably unnecessary so can be deleted. Read this Adobe Blog first, though.
